How To Make chicken cordon bleu
-
Step 1Split chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Place each piece between a folded sheet of waxed paper. Using a meat mallet, flatten to 1/4 inch thick.
-
Step 2Place 1 slice each of ham and cheese in the center of each piece of chicken breast. Roll up each chicken breast lengthwise and secure with a wooden toothpick.

Step 3Dip each roll into beaten egg and coat well with bread crumbs. In a heavy skillet, melt the butter and brown the chicken rolls. Place chicken in a 12 x 8 inch baking dish, reserving the drippings.
-
Step 4To the drippings, add the cheese soup, sour cream and sherry. Stir well and pour over the chicken. Bake uncovered in a 350 degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes.
